Alex's research focuses on characterizing the steps people take as they transition from thinking about suicide to attempting suicide; predicting who is at risk of transitioning down the pathway to a suicide attempt, specifically focusing on implicit cognitions as measured with the Implicit Association Test; and understanding psychological mechanisms for why people decide to attempt suicide, using computational modeling tools to assess basic decision-making processes that might be associated increased risk of suicide.
